This time, you should think about getting a heavy duty iron front grille wedge so you can just downshift and drive right through the *******s. 
When I get mine, I'm def. gettin blue. Nothin stands out like that Blue By You. Although, i was thinkin of gettin black with dark rims and blackin out the head lights and taillights...very stealth
Red is a good idea, you should add insane purple flames all over the car so people can see that you are insane and don't get in your way... well, that and the iron grille wedge would work.

the first thing they teach you is dont matter what the situation is
use the "break" first b4 you attempt to manuvre away
if your doing 60 and you jsut flip the steering wheel when a car is cutting you off you be fliping 360
i do feel bad for him but i still think he could have done better to prevent that much damge to the car
an accident is not always 1 side at fault the law might say the toyota guy is at fault in this case but you have to ask if the evo was speeding?

And how did that airbag feel flying in your face?
LOL that sucks ***!!!! I thought I had it bad because some douche backed into me a month after I bought my car. Only minor rear quarter panel damage cause of my evading skillz. I mean 2 days..... that had to suck *****. Gotta watch out in those heavy traffic areas arrrggg. Drivers can be bastards i.e. not let you merge and make you almost eat construction cones as you try to get in 
Johnny, don't get a used one...PLEASE. Get another brand spanking new one, that way you can ensure a good break-in etc...Sorry about your misfortune, but it seems that you are handling it well, and it looks as if you will be taken care of. We have had a few cases like this out here in CA, both rear-enders, 0 fault of the EVO drivers, and the ins companies took care of them well.
To the keyboard chimp/forum troll: I'd like to know which driving school told you to use the breaks as your initial reaction? Every driving school I have ever attended, and every last bit of racing experience I have aquired over my lifetime teaches that the initial and entirely natural human reaction to immediate braking is entirely wrong! Step away from the computer, put down the playstation controller, and join the rest of us in the real world.

Maybe he should buy a 20 year old Carrolla, watch some initial D, and become a drift king like you think you are.
Besides Johnny sorry to say this your better off wrecking into someone (assumeing no one is hurt) and having their insurance pick up the bill than magically avoiding them and spinning out only to damage your car.
yeah I am worried about proper break in. The owner of the used evo I was lookin at explicitly said that he did follow the proper break in precautions, but I havent driven it yet either. One thing that I did find odd when I picked up my first evo was that even though I asked the dealer about proper break in they said not to worry about it and just keep the car under 100mph for the first few hundred miles.
